Hello mate ... I welcome you to this small but very interesting country. If you want to explore...

The Cabo Polonio National Park is an extensive area with a great scenic beauty that still preserves typical characteristics of the Uruguayan Atlantic coast, and its original fishing villages. It is located in the department of Rocha, 264 km from Montevideo. It has three islands off its coast where there is an important reserve of sea lions. Its lighthouse has been a reference for sailors and the entire east coast since 1881. Both this place and the entire surrounding area is riddled with shipwrecks, which has earned it the label "hell for sailors". The place is completely different from any other point on the coast of the country, there is no electric light (which gives it a particular touch and allows you to appreciate the night sky at night) or running water, there are no streets but irregular paths that link the small and rudimentary houses. Those who come to spend the summer here appreciate these characteristics of contact with nature.
Everything is on foot within Polonio, so you should be prepared to walk and explore the different landscapes such as endless deserted beaches, huge rocks with passages between them or very high dunes with impressive views. Playa Sur - One of the best beaches in Uruguay with plenty of sand, rocks with small places for bathing, diving, etc. The Cape and its rocks - We will take a tour around the entire rocky point passing between the small houses and the passages between the large stones. If it is open, we will go up to the lighthouse to see the town from above, the islands and the sea lion reserve on them. Playa La Calavera - It is the beach next to the town, where the activity of artisanal fishing is concentrated. We will walk through it and its surroundings while we talk about its history. The Town - The original town will be toured with its typical craft stalls, the trails and different sectors of the Cape. If you wish, you can have lunch at one of the local restaurants or homemade food places.

The vehicle to be used is Mitsubishi Montero 4x4, licensed for 7 people, including the driver, and there are safety features for everyone. The ideal number of adults in the group should be 4 of medium build so that they can travel in total comfort. It is also possible to incorporate 2 children or teenagers if they are not large. The clarification is because the 3rd row seat is smaller than the rest. I recommend having breakfast at the hotel as early as possible so we can hit the road early.
